From wandering warrior by da chen "the future emperor shall bear five black moles under each foot," the monk atami read reverently from the sacred ancient scriptures. he would look up at the innocent boy that luka still was and continue. "this rare emperor descends upon this holy land only once every five hundred years." "what does that mean? " luka would ask. "it means that you are destined to be the next holy emperor and the living god of all the chinese people. even among all the emperors before or after, you will stand out like a giant and bring the greatest blessings to this central kingdom called china." there was more to that passage but atami didn't mention it, at least not yet. then the monk would always bow and pray and offer a short admonishment. "don't ever let others know who you are." "why? " luka would ask. "because the mogoes are afraid of you." "because i'm so big? " luka stood up and pushed out his chest. "no." atami smiled. "because when you are enthroned, all the chinese will rise up against the mogo invaders, who have taken our land and slaughtered our people. these mountains, these rivers, our people, our cattle, our grain, those maddeningly beautiful flowers . . all await your coming." tears would roll down the monk's cheeks as luka listened quietly. 2.how does the point of view affect the plot of the story? the reader feels like he or she is part of the story. the reader knows only what the narrator sees and feels. the reader knows what every character thinks and sees. the reader knows only what luka thinks and feels.

Select the correct answer. read this excerpt from leo tolstoy's the death of ivan ilyich: her attitude towards him and his diseases is still the same. just as the doctor had adopted a certain relation to his patient which he could not abandon, so had she formed one towards him—that he was not doing something he ought to do and was himself to blame, and that she reproached him lovingly for this—and she could not now change that attitude. "you see he doesn't listen to me and doesn't take his medicine at the proper time. and above all he lies in a position that is no doubt bad for him—with his legs up." she described how he made gerasim hold his legs up. the doctor smiled with a contemptuous affability that said: "what's to be done? these sick people do have foolish fancies of that kind, but we must forgive them. . " they all rose, said good-night, and went away. when they had gone it seemed to ivan ilyich that he felt better; the falsity had gone with them. but the pain remained—that same pain and that same fear that made everything monotonously alike, nothing harder and nothing easier. everything was worse. again minute followed minute and hour followed hour. everything remained the same and there was no cessation. and the inevitable end of it all became more and more terrible. based on the excerpt, how is praskovya fedorovna a character foil to ivan ilyich? a. she is kind and takes care of ivan, which is why he feels guilty about how he treated her for most of their married life. b. she is vindictive toward ivan while pretending to be worried about him, thus reminding him of how his family has never forgiven him. c. she plays the part of the worried wife without any real feeling, symbolizing the false propriety ivan upheld but now hates. d. she is young, healthy, and beautiful—everything ivan can never be again and wishes he could return to. reset next
